We report the case of a 61-year-old-man with an eosinophilic esophagitis with esophageal motor disorder associated with toxocariasis. He complained of non cardiac chest pain and had eosinophilia leading to the detection of Toxocara canis infection. Pain persisted despite treatment of toxocariasis. Basal manometry was normal but ambulatory 24-hour manometry-pHmetry showed diffuse esophageal spasm. Ultrasonography showed a thickening of the esophageal musculature in the two inferior thirds of the esophagus. After failure of treatment with sodium cromoglycate steroids and esophageal dilatation, calcium antagonists were partially effective. A long esophageal myotomy was performed permiting the disappearance of symptoms. The histological examination of a side myotomy biopsy showed an eosinophilic infiltration of the esophageal muscle layer. This observation leads to discuss the possible relation between toxocariasis, the esophageal motor disorder and the eosinophilic infiltration of the esophageal muscle layer.
